Have you ever thought that if you just had an established time for all that reading you intend to do but don't get around to, that you actually might get to it? Well, "Reading Room" is the group for you! While your Director of Religious Education was on sabbatical last winter, one of the things she treasured most was simply having time for professional reading. So, beginning September 7, you will find her reading every Friday in the Hearth Room 12:30 - 2:30 PM, and she would love your company. Reading selections are totally up to the individual, and if the Hearth Room is in use, not to worry, we'll find a spot elsewhere in the church. Together, let's get around to that reading this year!

Ellen Faby and Lalia Wilson will co-facilitate a covenant group that will meet on the first and third Thursdays from 7:15-9:15 pm. The first meeting will be on February 21st. Covenant groups allow small groups of up to ten people develop deeper relationships with each other and understand themselves better. In the course of working with a covenant group, one can explore one’s own beliefs in ways that self-exploration does not allow. Covenant groups are described as being about “Intimacy and Ultimacy.” Is a covenant group right for you? If you are interested in joining this group, please contact the church office.

This group will commit to meeting on February 21, March 6 & 20, April 3 & 17, and May 1 & 15.

Movie Night-"Atonement"

Friday, May 23, 2008, 6:30 – 10pm

"Atonement," based on Ian McEwan's best-selling novel, is an epic love story, which takes place in 1930s-40s England just before and after World War II. When 13-year-old Briony Tallis observes sexual electricity between her glamorous older sister and the son of the family housekeeper, on whom Briony, too, has a crush, her jealousy drives her to tell a lie that will irrevocably change the course of their lives forever. Discussion follows the showing of the film.
Rated R. Running time: 2 hours. Languages: English, Spanish, French, with English subtitles. Winner of the Golden Globe Award for best picture.

"Reading Room"

30 May 2008 16:30:00 GMT

Hearth Room
Friday, May 30, 2008, 12:30 – 2:30pm

Have you ever thought that if you just had an established time for all that reading you intend to do but don't get around to, that you actually might get to it? Well, "Reading Room" is the group for you! While your Director of Religious Education was on sabbatical last winter, one of the things she treasured most was simply having time for professional reading. So, beginning September 7, you will find her reading every Friday in the Hearth Room 12:30 - 2:30 PM, and she would love your company. Reading selections are totally up to the individual, and if the Hearth Room is in use, not to worry, we'll find a spot elsewhere in the church. Together, let's get around to that reading this year!
